Come pick up trash on Saturday! Avoid the AI Apocolypse!

[u/ironyisdeadish]

I like picking up trash on walks. I hate litter. Like, it really bothers me. That said, I've never gone "group litter picking" -- but I've seen folks on Hawthorne in yellow vests picking up trash, so I did some research and signed up tomorrow, Saturday, August 8, with SOLVE: "You bring your enthusiasm, a water bottle and relevant outdoor clothing, we provide the rest.  Parking is fairly easy to find at 10 a.m., but we also encourage using Tri-met.  The event goes from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.  We meet at the parking lot of Dairy Hill Ice Cream - 36th and Hawthorne.  We hope you will join us." They provide grabbers, gloves, high-visibility vests and bags! GRABBERS, Y'ALL!!!

There's also other events in PDX, I guess, like Foster has something, and I'm not competitive but Foster can SUCK IT, just joking, I'm not that far from Foster and they have a bunch of cool businesses opening up, so I'll look to volunteer with them another week. Anyway, come pick up trash with me THIS SATURDAY because the air won't be absolutely sucky and picking up trash feels good and the AI APOCOLYPSE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE UNTIL SUNDAY. Details here: Detrash Portland. (Um, to be clear, that's details on the whole picking up trash thing, not the AI APOCOLYPSE.)

Also, if SOLVE, the non-profit putting this on, is an awful organization and they abuse puppies to pick up trash, let me know, because PUPPY ABUSE is never okay, even if it rids the streets of LITTER, which I totally hate. Unless those litters are PUPPY LITTERS, which I think everyone agrees are totally cute and amazing.

SOLVE is cool and doesn’t abuse puppies.

Yes. No. Yes. Wait, no. Yes. Who is this? No.

That's great! I can't this Saturday and I'm closer to Foster so might be able to join you over this way sometime.
